According to reports in The Sun, West Ham United are lining up a move for out-of-favour Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart this summer.
The 30-year-old was sent out on a season-long loan deal to Torino last summer after being told that he was surplus to requirements by Pep Guardiola, and that situation hasn’t changed after the England international returned to the Etihad with a long-term transfer to Serie A not on the cards.
The Irons are said to be ready to match Hart’s £100,000-a-week wages but would prefer to sign him on loan with a view to a permanent move, as they don’t believe they can afford his pay packet and the £18m fee City want.
West Ham supporters were quick to have their say on the rumour via social media – the majority not wanting Hart with some labelling him a ‘liability’, others believing he isn’t worth the money.
Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
